    To be fair, that’s a weighted vest that a lot of (mostly Crossfitters functional fitness types (I don’t want to get sued)) wear to make their workouts harder.

    • I saw “bulletproof vest” in the article but missed the “weighted or” part just before it. I did partial research before I posted. Lol.

        There’s no real such thing as a true bullet proof vest, unless you enjoy wearing 25lb steel plates; a ceramic armor vest is significantly lighter but are not rated to take more than a few impacts of 7.62mm or even a few 9mm for regular consumer grade restricted for non-military use armor

      Nah that’s definitely body armor. I think it’s an oversized plate vest but she’s running, it’s all black, and I’m shit at identifying such things.
